In his philosophy of history Walter Benjamin (1968) distinguishes between a history spoken in the name of power, which records the victors’ triumphs, and a history that names and identifies the problems of the present by scouring the past for the origins of this ‘present’ historical moment. Benjamin uses the word ‘constellation’ to describe this project of bringing events together in new ways, disrupting established disciplines, categories and mediums, thereby suggesting new connections between‘now’ and ‘then’. |
